Two questions: What is a Red Indian? Also, have you heard of this guy called the Pope?
Sorry should i have said Native Americans instead. In hindsight maybe that would have been the politically correct term. Isn’t pope the keeper at burnley.
 
whats with the misleading title?

A fellow muppet saw white smoke at Old Trafford from his office block and believed it was a sign of Sancho’s signing/related to his unveiling package. Was posted a few pages back and is definitely worth checking out.

EDIT: Holy feck, more than a few pages back. Around 10. This thread has been getting the treatment today. Surely on course to overtake the Pogba transfer thread.

You make exceptions for certain talents. Sancho is one of those that are not easily replaceable (in terms of targets). The fact that he coincides with Greenwood's best years while he himself is English makes this a no brainer.
Yep, having two elite talents in Greenwood and Sancho would be something else, that too when you think about the fact that we already have Martial and Rashford. For me that's a special special attack in the making.
 
Hypothetical question and out of curiosity. Would people prefer Sancho for 120M or Grealish + Chiesa for the same amount of money?
Sancho, anyday. 5 years from now nobody would even consider these comparisons. That's how far ahead Sancho is than these players.
 
Wonder if Dortmund will wish Sancho luck on his exit accompanied with a backhanded compliment like they did with Mkhitaryan.

"Good luck in the Europa League".

Feck off you cnuts, we are in a far better position to win the Champions League next session then they are.
 
I agree that Sancho is that sort of player, but he is to expensive. We got Christiano Ronaldo at a bargain and that turned out well. Kubo is the player I see as similar to our Ronaldo acquisition and as an alternative that will allow us to bring in other notable players like Grelish, Jimenez and Camaviga or Tonali. Our starting 11 is probably the best in the premier league as since the restart, we are number 1 in the league. The factors that made that happen is primary Bruno and MMM, supported by our solid defense and return of Pogba and Matic finding some decent form. We can’t play that strong 11 most games, so we need strong back up as well and my plan affords that.
So if Ronaldo was available for 45 million at the time and not 12 million, you wouldn't have gone for him. Come on now. There's pragmatism and there's sillyness.

If you’re English, the thought of having Sancho, Rashford, and Greenwood all under contract must send you into a stupor.
 
No chance we make 6 signings in a window.

I'd be shocked if we made 3 this summer considering the current financial enviornment.

This is what I was saying in the original post, I’d be surprised if we did more business after Sancho as we can only work on one deal at a rinr

You're not the only one.


That and his stupid airplane goal celebration, always been an irritating cnut.

Chiesa looks bang average. I get the feeling he would struggle in this league. I would have Sancho & Van De Beek instead. Grealish isn't a better player than Bruno and we shouldn't be paying more for him.

I meant they aren't in the CL this season so would be a rather strange thing to say.

No, I would have gone for Ronaldo at that time instead of buying nedved, Zidane or other high profile players. Especially if we have an already strong starting eleven.
 
I actually enjoy it though. They've been pretty early on a lot of transfers during the period they've been doing it.
It’s true, but they piss off so many people that whenever someone sees it’s them they pass it off
 
No news for two days now? It’s very quiet from both sides atm.. don’t know if it’s good or bad.

How old were Nedved and Zidane compared to Ronaldo? How old is Sancho?

Mentioned other high profile players just in case someone brought up age, which I expected. Sancho at the price quote will be one of the most expensive players in football. If we pursued that ideology back then, we would have lost out on one of the best players football has seen.
 
KDB considered to be consistently best player in PL. 15 goals and 20 assists in PL this year.

Sancho has better numbers in Bundesliga!!

Different leagues, one is a much better league no matter how we want to deny it.

Sure I dont deny that: but given Sancho is 8 years younger, he would certainly hope to match those kind of numbers within a few years?
 
Never understood why you do it to yourselves

Rooney was quite expensive for a teenager at the time.

Your examples didn't quite fit the crux of this problem. A major factor is Sancho's age, given that he has produced so much at his age, and can be on the team with Greenwood for 10+ years. That is a major reason why we want him. You can't simply take that out of the equation and just use price tag.
